Nestled
in the lush forests of the Western
Ghats in Kerala are fourteen wildlife
sanctuaries. And skirting these exotic
destinations are some of the most
delightful trails in the country.
Some of them adventurously exciting,
others enchanting in equal measure.
All washed in the spice-scented air
of endless acres of plantations..
tea, coffee, cardamom, vanilla,
pepper, oranges, mangoes....

with an area of about 100 sq. kms

hills. The forests here are Tropical
Evergreen, Semi-Evergreen and the
Moist Deciduous forests.

and extremely thick, have been over
the years been denuded by continuous
over exploitation. The sanctuary makes
for a wide variety of flora still.
All major species of fauna of peninsular
India are well represented in the

human interference, the fauna is sparse.
